Vincent and Jamie and Catarina: When Freshiedency Reaches Its End

The Night Party --- Preparations

Two hours later...

Vincent's cellphone rang with a fanfare playing. He woke up, sat up, stretched his arms and looked at his phone. It was his dad calling, so he had to pick it up.

"Hello, dad?" he said.

"Vince! It's three thirty in the afternoon!" His dad exclaimed on the other end, "We were invited to a very special dinner held by Benjamin just now!"

Vincent yawned, and then asked, "When does it start?"

"At six PM!" His father replied, "We'll be picking you up at half past four!"

"And where's my daughter Jamie, Vincent?!" Nosci's voice asked on the other end.

"Asleep, snug as a bug in a ---" the President replied.

"I know what you are going to say!" Nosci exclaimed, "Just give it to her."

Vincent nudged the back of his breeder girl, but she dismissed it with a flap of her wings and a flick of her wrist. "Tell me later," she said before yawning again.

"Okay," Nosci said on the other end, "Just tell her that your dad and I are going to pick you guys both up at 4:30, dress nicely!"

Then his dad hung up.

"What did he say?" Jamie asked Vincent. She stretched her arms and legs, and then got up.

"We have a party to attend to tonight," Vincent replied, "Our dads will pick us up in less than an hour."

"Fvck," Jamie swore, "I'll shower up, lay some eggs, and get dressed. You fix the bed, and then do the same."

"Alright," Vincent said as he got up. Jamie flew a floor up, and entered the bedroom nearest the walls.

Vincent folded up the sofa and the blankets, and set them nicely at their original positions. At this point, a group of white insects, led by three pillbugs approached Vincent as if they were waiting for orders.

"Uhmmm, " Vincent said, "You guys keep this place spic and span while we're gone for the night. There's some leftover food in the fridge which you can microwave, and there's also some greens for some of you ants, lest you are cellulose intolerant."

The three pillbugs, along with all the other insects like ants, termites, butterflies, more pillbugs, some roaches, cockchafers, a few moths, et cetera gave tiny salutes, and then disperse. Those were presumably laid by Jamie, and they're smart and well-disciplined; in fact, they can clean the house, eat leftover food, and even do stuff that other humans do (they secretly have a garden to provide some herbs and spices for cooking, but the Author does not know where it is). Even the staff are fine with it, just as long as they do not squish the tiny helpers on purpose.

...

Vincent I and Nosci arrived at exactly 4:30 PM at their penthouse apartment. Without knocking, they opened the doors, entered the hallway, and finally found the two doing some last minute cleanups with the little bugs.

When the fathers approached the living area, Vincent I cleared his throat. At once, Vincent II and Jamie turned heads and immediately rushed to their respective fathers, hugging them tightly.

"You chose to wear plaid polo with jeans, son?" Vincent I asked Vincent II.
"You did say that it was a special dinner, Papa," Vincent II replied, "I could cook up an impromptu speech if I have to."

"Save it for later, Mr. President," Nosci replied, "Why don't you guide my lovely daughter out the door? She's wearing a nice white blouse, no?"

Jamie giggled a little as Vincent held her hand. He led the three out of the unit, and finally shut the door for now.
